1085 De Cologne's Diary 3
This is not a matter of one or two days, De Coren and the mage apprentice need to eat, De Coren has never met a human before, so naturally he will not develop the habit of eating people. In fact, in De Coren's opinion, human beings are similar to himself, but they are much smaller and much weaker, and he also thinks that humans are his own kind, and most of the creatures in the forest do not eat their own kind, so he has never thought of eating people.
The mage's apprentice must not drink blood like Decoron, and must be roasted before eating. De Coren's curiosity was so heavy, so he naturally wanted to try it, and this was the first time De Coren had eaten cooked food. Having tasted delicatessen, De Coren was out of control and took the initiative to hunt for food, and the process of barbecuing replaced spells as his main subject of study.
After the mage apprentice's injuries were a little better, he escaped while De Coren was going hunting, but by this time De Coren had already taken the mage apprentice into the depths of the forest, and the two adventurer companions who were more experienced in exploration had died, and the mage apprentice did not know the way, and he could only walk around the forest alone, and he would not hide his tracks. After all, this is De Coren's home field, and the speed gap between the two sides is too big, and De Coren is very fast in catching prey, so the mage apprentice was quickly captured by De Coren.
After several attempts and being recaptured, and still suffering some injuries in the process of capture, the mage's apprentice temporarily died of the desire to escape.
The whole teaching process lasted two weeks, although the time was not short, but De Coren did not learn much, he still could not communicate with humans normally, and the human lingua franca taught by the mage's apprentice was basically a bull's head and a horse's mouth, and there were also big problems with pronunciation. I didn't master the language, let alone spells, De Colon still relied on condensing magical elements to forcibly cast spells, and the effect of spells was completely random, but the casting speed and spell power became much greater.
The only thing De Coren learned well may be barbecue, in fact, the barbecue skills of the mage apprentice are not very good, but De Coren is a foodie who has shown an amazing talent in roasting, but after imitating it a few times and improving it himself, he does it better than the mage apprentice, and it is still much better.
De Keren is also very proud of this, and has boasted to himself many times in his diary, claiming that his barbecue level is the first in the world, the level of grandmaster, and his barbecue talent is even happier than his self-mastered spells.
Yun Xiaohan saw that there was only one thing he was sure of, this plot must have been done by game designers on the Chinese side, except for the foodie empire, no game designer in any country would be so boring, I guess I still watched too much fantasy, Nima. This meme is really too complaining.
De Colon learned spells and the lingua franca of humanity out of curiosity and interest, he was not threatened in the forest, and his strength continued to improve with age, so he had no urgent need to improve his strength. In fact, at this time, De Colon didn't think that spellcasting ability was a powerful power, but just like a child, he found a new toy and learned to have fun. Now although the spell De Colon has not learned well, he can barely use it, as for the effect that is released is different from what he wants, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to put it a few more times, anyway, he has a lot of mana.
Therefore, after mastering the barbecue and scooping up the seasonings from the mage apprentice, De Colon took the initiative to release the mage apprentice and sent him out of the forest. Of course, De Coren did this not without purpose, the seasoning would always run out, and he naively hoped that the mage apprentice could bring some more seasoning, De Coren did not have the concept of money at this time, so naturally he would not consider paying the bill.
De Coren also thought about going with the mage's apprentice to get seasonings, but this forest was his home, and his intelligence at this time was not much different from that of a child, so he was subconsciously reluctant to leave the forest.
Normal ogres will kill all the humans they come across, so that the news will not leak out, and the ogres mostly live in groups and are not afraid of human crusades. Scattered ogres, on the other hand, often move and change habitats, and do not stay in one place for long. And De Coren did not receive this education, so naturally he did not have this awareness.
The next development of things was not unexpected, the two temporary partners of the mage apprentice were killed by De Coran, even if there was no emotion, the mage apprentice needed to explain to the Adventurer Guild, and he didn't plan to bring seasoning to De Coran, so naturally there was no need to hide it for De Coran.
However, the mage apprentice didn't make things too clear, he didn't say anything about De Coren learning spells, human lingua franca, or barbecue from him, he just said that he had encountered an ogre, both of his teammates died, and he had escaped with a few things, and roughly described De Coran's size and general combat strength. Of course, this combat power is hand-to-hand combat.
The reason for not saying those things is very simple, he doesn't want people to know that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and teaches knowledge to ogres, even if it is just false knowledge, but this kind of behavior is obviously not acceptable to others. And the mage apprentice didn't think that others would believe that there was such a peculiar ogre, but only that he was frightened by the ogre, and his brain was no longer normal. Mage apprentices are not stupid and would certainly not do such a thankless task.
The adventurer's guild that learned the situation naturally couldn't ignore the fact that the guild members were killed, not to mention that an ogre with a height of more than three and a half meters was a great threat to the surrounding area, and an ogre of this height could already be regarded as a leader-level ogre, and this grade of ogre would generally appear only in a small ogre tribe, and he rarely acted alone, so he couldn't pay too much attention to it.
Due to its remote location, the adventurer's guild here is not large, and the strength of the personnel is not very strong, so the adventurer's guild had to issue a high bounty, gathered more than fifty adventurers, and replaced quality with quantity, before daring to set off to crusade against De Coron, the ogre leader they thought he thought.
In fact, these more than 50 people can only deal with one ogre leader, they are mainly going to explore the way, if there is more than one ogre, they will retreat, and then report to the higher guild, after getting instructions from the superiors, they will go to seek the support of the lord, let the lord send the territory army, and they will cooperate from the side to solve these ogres.
PS: There's no way, I've been stared at by my wife lately, I can't write at night, and I've been working and resting more normally lately, so I'll doze off at night to see if I can solve the debt tonight. There should be a chapter before 0:00, see if you can code another chapter in the early morning.
